I got this one pre-ordered already, now I must pre-order Atelier Meruru, Ys, Pokémon X, Mario & Luigi, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, Kingdom Hearts ReMIX and… well, you get my point, right? Toooooo many games to get this year! I wouldn’t mind if I had money TwT

I will forever prefer rune factory over harvest moon.

Really looking forward to this game as a big fan of the Rune Factory series. I was worried that it was going to come out the same day as SMT 4 but thankfully it looks like XSeed pushed it back.

Dating phase? Didn’t RF3 have something *trying* to resemble that? Well, I guess it was more like taking a girl to their favorite place for that one scene. A lot of them were sweet, nonetheless.

I think you are referring to certain seasonal events that involved taking a girl somewhere for a romantic event like star gazing

This looks sweet. I wonder what improvements RF had since RF2….never played 3 and Tides of Desitny.

The major improvements since 2 would be that time moves a bit faster and doesn’t stand still when you enter buildings. NPCs have their own “lives” they live so you can see them going about their day walking around town and visiting shops and their friends. From what I noticed dialogue isn’t as scripted though you still will see NPCs repeat certain lines a bit (as of 3). Not sure about RF4, but you could do multiple requests per day instead of only 1 per day like RF2. The major change I would say that was much needed, was RF3 added the ability to carry 9 or 10 items at once without the need to put them in your inventory. But they all had to be the same item so I could carry around 9 or 10 turnips as an example

Rogerrmark

Looks neat so far!Happy that it’s possible to do more than one request now.

I liked RF and 2,although the battle system could have some improvements,that,from I heard,happened on the next entries. Getting this ASAP,along with Ys Celceta.
